Wrinkle Reduction Treatments
Wrinkle Reduction Treatments
BOTOX®, as it is more commonly known, is short for Botulinum Toxin Type A. It is by far the most popular and effective anti-ageing treatment in the world. With very little or no down time it can significantly improve wrinkles and lines along with eye shape and facial contouring within days of treatment and last several months. It offers improved youthfulness without surgery and within the comfort of the consulting suite.
The toxin works by temporarily relaxing the muscles to create softer facial lines and a firmer skin appearance.
It is excellent at reducing the appearance of:
- Frown lines (between eye brows)
- Bunny lines (line along bridge of nose)
- Crow’s feet (fine lines beside eyes)
- Laughter lines (fine lines)
- Smoker’s lines and furrows (lines around mouth)
The toxin also can be used to contour the face:
- Eye brow lift and upper eye bag lift
- Jaw line shaping also known as jowling
- Turning up the corners of the mouth
- Nasal flaring and raising the nasal tip
- Dimpling of the chin
- Ageing neck
- Treating a gummy smile

Other uses of the toxin include alleviating underarm sweating. The toxin is administered under both arms and the treatment lasts up to 6 months.
One of the main added advantages of toxin is the minimal after effects during and after treatment.
After treatment it takes up to 14 days for the treatment to take full effect and can last between 3-6 months.
